AWESOME stream quality, AWESOME stage/crowd seats, AWESOME camera shots, and finally, AWESOME video at the end. And what is best, all this quality is available for free. I sincerely hope Dreamhack grows ever stronger and that this quality event become SC2 scene norm. Congratulations! All dreamhacks after Stockholm invitational 2011 have been badass. Too bad they have a hard time attracting koreans  | ||

It was two basing against Stephano, too, I think. And most of the other PvZ's I've seen in this event and in general. Though I admit I wasn't watching all of it, was playing Civ 4 for quite a bit today. Just saiyan it's boring, not imba or anything. Not complaining about that. | ||

I didn't see the Mana v.s Stephano series, can someone go over and recap what MaNa did both games? I would appreciate it. | ||

I would list: - blink stalker micro - warp prism micro / harass - storm / feedback and storm drops with HT - all kinds of hallucination play - phoenix micro So there you have it. Kick the boring stuff out and bring more fun stuff in and the game will become better from a spectator's perspective. | ||

That seems pretty uncalled for. It's just as legitimate to prefer Korean players as it is to prefer EU players. | ||

There are two ways how to win tournaments - either you are so good that you brute force your way through your opponents just with your playstyle (but only DRG, MKP and very few others can do this) or you play like Mana did - you prepare and you play to your opponents weakness (Nestea, MMA and MVP are all doing that)... I think he deserves respect. btw, problem with protoss imo is, that they have the potential to create the most epic and best games of all races (Ace vs B4 in up and downs comes to mind, or Hero vs Idra in DH Valencia for example) and everyone is dissapointed that not every game is like that... | ||
